About: Lisin

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Lisin was a Mesopotamian deity initially regarded as a goddess and addressed as ama, "mother," who later came to be regarded as a god and developed an association with fire. The name was also applied to a star associated with Nabu. Lisin's spouse was Ninsikila, whose gender also changed between periods. It was believed that they had eight children. The initial cult center of Lisin is uncertain, with locations such as Adab and Kesh being often proposed. She is attested in texts from various cities, including Umma, Lagash, Nippur and Meturan. Only a single literary text focused on Lisin is known, a lament in which she mourns the death of one of her sons, for which she blames her mother Ninhursag. Both female and male version of Lisin also appears in other similar texts.

dbo:abstract
  • Lisin (babylonisch dLi9-si4) war der Name einer sumerischen Göttin, die ab dem ersten Jahrtausend v. Chr. auch mit dem Stern Antares im Sternbild Skorpion unter dem Hinweis „in der Brust des Skorpions stehend“ gleichgesetzt wurde. Lisin zählte seit dem ersten Jahrtausend v. Chr. außerdem zu den Sternen des Nabu und war Inhalt von mythologisch-astrologischen Texten aus der Region Borsippa. So heißt es beispielsweise, dass die Menschen mit ihrer gesamten Habe bei ihrem Aufgang zu ihr beten sollen, um zukünftigem Unheil zu entgehen. Als Gottheit ist Lisin bereits seit dem dritten Jahrtausend v. Chr. belegt und war im Lagaš-Kalender die verehrte Göttin des dritten Monats (Mai/Juni). Die genaue Herkunft und örtliche Zugehörigkeit von Lisin ist unklar; möglicherweise war sie sowohl in als auch in Adab mit ihrem Bruder beheimatet. In den Texten von wird Lisin auch „Mutter“ genannt.
